I’m so glad I found your Instagram and Blog. I couldn’t find you on Facebook anymore. Prayers for you!! Reply
Lori, so good to see you thank you for letting me know you found me. Yes, you may know my original page was hacked in January of this year, and FB finally closed it after many thousands of followers complained. Welcome, Debbie Reply
Debbie, I am so happy for you and Mr. Shabby! I love you posts. They have helped me during these last months. After 43 years of marriage, I am going through a divorce. It is a difficult process as you know. On days when I don’t think I Dan take any more, you put a post on FB and it lifts me up. Thank you so much. We have never met, but I feel like we are friends, God bless you and Mr. Shabby ‘ Reply
Patricia, I know that has to be hard, it would be on any of us after that many years together. I will be praying that God lifts you high above this and hold you up on days that you feel like you can not do it another minute. You can, you will and with Gods help you will turn around and things will be much easier than you thought they ever could be. I’m in your corner, with love and support. Love, Debbie Reply
Debbie, I am so happy and excited to see where Father God leads you and Mr.Shabby! I believe you and Mr.Shabby are being very wise in your decisions. You have been so diligent in getting healed with past wounds,fears, and doubts! You are truly a faithful person! Thank you for sharing your story with us! May God continue to give both of you courage and strength every night and day! Love, Susan Reply
Susan, your comment brought tears to my eyes happy ones! I have worked hard on me and I felt it was so important not just for me but to Mr. Shabby as well as others in my life. It is never easy to face the things that have brought hurt to your life or the people that brought that hurt. I’m learning that we can not take everything to heart, let it roll off and give it to God. He has given me such clarity and wisdom when it comes to those past hurts. I truly feel that I am so much better and the best is yet to come. I will stay in therapy as long as I know I am still moving forward. Have a wonderful Tuesday. Love, Debbie Reply
I’m glad they were ‘happy’ tears, Debbie! It is so sad that there are so many hurting people in this world! God is giving you much wisdom because you are a faithful servant! Through your sharing your and Mr. Shabby’s story, I believe you are giving many folks hope for their situations! Blessings and love, Susan Reply
That is a hard road to hoe…..been there w/ one of my children. I have not followed you as long as some others, simply because I didn’t know you existed, but from the first I read your page, I was hooked. This piece you wrote makes it all clear to me. I didn’t want to ask, because I thought along the way I thought you would explain as the inspiration prompted you to. Thanks for helping all of us, and we all have problems, no one on this earth is exempt. I would not have survived if I did not have God in my life and to be able to pray and know that God listens and answers our prayers. We don’t always get what we want, but all prayers are answered in a way that is good for us, we just need faith. He knows what is best for us and those we pray for. You and Mr. Shabby will be just fine if you let the Lord be the center of your life. Keep praying and keep the faith. Love to you and your family. Reply
Carolyn, thank you for your kind words, and you are in my thoughts and prayers. You are right, without God, I’d never have made it this far I’m certain of that. Love, Debbie Reply
Thanks for the update. You both know I love you! I think you are the gravy to his biscuits! Praying for you both. 🥰 Reply
Becky, I love you, my friend, we both do! It has been a long road but, God is good and whatever happens now it will be His will. Love, Debbie Reply
I’m so glad things are coming together for you both ! I pray God will continue to bless you both and lead you in the correct direction.Thanks for the update. Reply
Thank you, Joey. We are on the right road for sure. Whatever happens now God has us both, even though we are sinners, He loves us and we love Him. Smiles, Debbie Reply
Oh Sweet Debbie, Sinners once, but NOW SAVED by HIS Grace! <3 Have not read all of the comments yet, but will! AND, hit the ads, as well. Sounds like a very smart plan….hated to see you sell your beautiful home, and leave all those you love, to move so far away, so quickly! Proving he can stay clean, is a wonderful thing for him to do for himself…as well as for you! It also, gives you more time to work out the "IFs" and look for a home where he is, or even build a new smaller home, there,…..for a "HAPPILY EVER AFTER" NEW START, for the two of you, incorporating special "likes" in a new home., for you both to enjoy & love, (Maybe you could even trap, (in a live trap) a few bunnies and move to your new place! lol Glad that you are continuing to take care of yourself, too! I believe that a lot of thought, prayers, and planning ahead will pay big dividends….especially since you are both committed to following God's will! HE WILL NOT lead you astray! Thanks for the update, especially for those of us who feel like you are now a sister! <3 Carol Reply
Thank you, Carol, your words are so heartfelt and truthful. Working on me is very important I need to just be me, without fear of what next that I have had for so many years with Mr. Shabby’s addiction. It took me years to see that it had taken a toll on me and, I need to get help for me, and now! So, I have and I have come to see things from a different view. It feels good to just be me and not worry daily about things I had no control over at all. Love, Debbie
Blessings to you, sweet Debbie, (and Terry, too) and Thank you for all of the uplifting, encouraging , and beautiful posts each and every day! I so look forward to your posts, even if I do not get on here until late evening. The pink Geraniums and Bacopa, in the tin planter today, was so pretty. My 2 daughters would love that also. I know that there have been so many storms, floods, etc. all over the South. Hope they are not in your area where you 2 live! May God keep you out of harm’s way., and fill your lives with much happiness now! It was hot in the NW today, setting a new record in Portland. Crazy weather everywhere, it seems. Good night, and May God Bless and Keep you safe ~ c
Thank you, Carol, for your thoughtful comment. I am glad you enjoy the page and the blog. Have a wonderful Tuesday! Love, Debbie
Thanks for the update! Glad you both are doing well. By my experiences it has been hard for me to set boundaries in all aspects of life, including loved ones who are addicts. Wish you all the best! Reply
Debera, it is not easy that is for sure but, it can be done and it takes dedication and time. Hang in there! Love, Debbie Reply
